The site seems to have become infested with ship spotters!

So, some of the world's largest nations have a tonnage and headcount that exceeds the RN, when the size of these nations and associated tasks are taken into account I still see no one other than the US who has a capability that exceeds the RN.

After all, I posted on this thread in reply to someone who claimed that the RN was is, or is about to become "third world" which is clearly palpable nonsense.

As to the rather strange claim about RAF PR and the Neptune AEW flight, surely the fact that very little historical data is around on this particular unit is because it was a very small unit and only existed for a very short period of time?
